There are those who collect stamps or butterflies, we collect spaces, in their virtual version.
Why exhaustively simulate an environment like James Turrell’s “Bridget´s Bardo” or why to redo a space that is the denial of understanding space?
Because, for us, the light is the matter and the great challenge is analyzing it. Learning from the masters.
Who has their own “Joseph Beuys” to visit? And who can have Pompidou’s room in their own living-room?
Collecting spaces is sharing dreams.
This work started in 2014, too ambitious at the time, a long-take digital sequence. The rendering time was then about 2 months. Therefore it was left in the drawer, like an old film not yet developed.
Finally, during a nostalgic movement of archive ordering and sharing, we returned to the project, using our current technology. In a few hours it was finished.
Here it is, 6 years later.
